| Popis: | PURPOSE: Pelvic recurrence of rectal cancer is an ominous event for the patient and a formidable challenge to the managing surgeon. We reviewed the results of abdominosacral resection to manage these patients and correlated outcome (survival and recurrence) with known prognostic factors. METHODS: An abdominosacral resection was performed on 61 patients with pelvic recurrence (53 with curative intent and 6 for palliation; 2 had extended pelvic resection). Of the 53 patients (32 males; average age, 59 years) previous resection included abdominoperineal resection in 27 patients, abdominoperineal resection plus hepatic lobectomy in 2 patients, low anterior resection in 19 patients, plus trisegmentectomy in 1 patient, and advanced primary cancers in 4 patients. Initial primary stage was Dukes B (64 percent) and Dukes C (36 percent). All had been irradiated (3,000–6,500 in 50 patients, 8,300 and 11,000 in 2 patients, and unknown dose in 3 patients). Preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen was elevated (>5 ng/ml) in 54 percent. Extent of resection: high sacral resection S-1–S-2 was done in 32 patients, midsacrum in 14 patients, and low S-4–S-5 in 6 patients. Twenty-eight patients (60 percent) required partial or complete bladder resection with or without adjacent viscera, and all had internal iliac and obturator node dissection. RESULTS: There were four postoperative (within 60 days) deaths, 8 percent in curative groups (5.4 percent overall). Major complications included prolonged intubation (20 percent), sepsis (34 percent), posterior wound infection or flap separation (38 percent). The survival rate in the curative group (49 postoperative survivors) was 31 percent at five years, with 13 patients surviving beyond five years. Seven of these patients survived from 5 to 21 years, whereas six patients recurred again and died within 5.5 to 7.5 years after abdominosacral resection. Disease-free survival rate at five years was 23 percent. Recent reconstruction with large composite myocutaneous gluteal flaps in 5 patients permitted complete sacral wound coverage, resulting in earlier ambulation and reduced hospital stay. CONCLUSIONS: Abdominosacral resection permits removal of pelvic recurrence of rectal cancer that is fixed to the sacrum and is associated with long-term survival in 31 percent of patients. Recent technical advances have improved the short-term outcome and have made the procedure more feasible for surgical teams familiar with these techniques. |
